Country brief

How identity verification works in Haiti.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Haiti faces CIN forgery driven by diaspora remittance-account access, synthetic-identity fraud in mobile-money onboarding, and elevated PEP risk from the Chamber of Representatives network and local government authorities. The Haitian National Police wanted list adds an additional enforcement-screening dimension unique to the jurisdiction. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — deepfake, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Loi Anti-Blanchiment — Loi sur le Blanchiment de Capitaux (2001)
  • BRH Directive 14 — Know Your Customer and AML requirements for licensed institutions
  • Loi du 21 juin 2020 — Loi sur la lutte contre le Blanchiment de Capitaux et le Financement du Terrorisme
  • Décret du 8 novembre 2013 — sur la protection des données personnelles
  • CFATF Mutual Evaluation 2022
  • FATF Methodology 2022
Regulators

Who supervises identity verification in Haiti.

These are the supervisors a Haiti verification flow has to answer to. One Didit hosted flow + one audit log covers every one of them — no separate integration per agency.
  • BRH

    Banque de la République d'Haïti — central bank and prudential supervisor for banks and electronic-money institutions. Sets KYC and AML onboarding requirements under the Loi Anti-Blanchiment (2001) and BRH Directive 14.

  • UCREF

    Unité Centrale de Renseignements Financiers — Haiti's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives suspicious-transaction reports and coordinates with law enforcement on AML investigations.

  • ONI

    Office National d'Identification — civil-registry authority. Issues the Carte d'Identification Nationale (CIN) and maintains the authoritative identity database for Haitian nationals.

  • CFATF

    Caribbean Financial Action Task Force — the FATF-style regional body for the Caribbean. Haiti is a member and is subject to mutual evaluation and follow-up under FATF methodology.

  • HNP

    Haitian National Police (Police Nationale d'Haïti) — maintains the national wanted-persons registry and law-enforcement watchlist. Relevant to AML and fraud-prevention screening.

04 · Registry

Database validation against the ONI registry.
